Adam Ross:
You get the thoughts, right? The bad ones that race in your head and you can't make them stop. You try and block them out and think about something else, but uh, doesn't work. So you, uh, you come up with these rituals. Just these little things that make yourself feel better. Counting, washing, unplugging things, pulling out your eyelashes.

Adam Ross:
[Stella has just suggested Jake could have killed his father]
Come on, Stella, he's a small thirteen year old boy. There is no way that he's strong enough to strangle an adult.

Detective Stella Bonasera:
Closing off the two carotid artries stops blood flow to the brain. That takes a matter of seconds and very little pressure, Adam. It's about the position of the ligiture not the force behind it. And since science puts Jake with our vic at time of death...

Detective Danny Messer:
Stella, we deserve to get paid. Come on, cops work hard in this city, you know, I mean, the Brass, they're not working for free so why the hell should I? You know I'm right. Come on, pull up a spoon.

Detective Stella Bonasera:
I'm old school, Danny. You know, I took an oath and I take it literally. My responsibility is first and foremost to the people of this city and job that I do.

Detective Danny Messer:
That's exactly why I'm holding out for a little respect. I mean I come from a family of cops, Stell, I'm not taking this thing lightly.

Detective Stella Bonasera:
Yeah, I know, I know, I know. Look I guess, I guess, it just took me driving over here to understand it all. People were crazy. They were getting out of their cars, it was chaos, there were no traffic cops.

Detective Stella Bonasera:
Yeah I was on my way to lay into you! I was so pissed off, Danny. Hawkes stood in for you at that hearing and they threw the case out. And there was so much work at the lab. Thank God for Lindasy, you know, she's a real trooper.

Detective Danny Messer:
Yeah, yeah, she is. She's been calling me every other hour. Except I got to cough every time I answer the phone in case it's not her.
